The editors at the Los Angeles Times - latimes.com - have shown their ignorance
of chess by putting an inaccurate headline on the latest column by IM Jack
Peters. The latest headline reads:
"Kramnik defeats 4 Germans in exhibition"

What Peters wrote in the text was the following:
"World champion Vladimir Kramnik has conquered Germany. In a simultaneous
exhibition Jan. 29 in Brissago, Switzerland, Kramnik edged four of the best
German grandmasters 2 1/2 - 1 1/2."

Peters went on to write that Kramnik scored three draws and one win - the win
being againt GM Robert Huebner.

If the LA Times editors were chess savvy or had read the complete column, they
would not have put that inaccurate headline on Peters' latest column. There
was a better, i.e. more accurate way to to describe what Kramnik did in the
headline.. Suggestions from posters are welcome.

You should be an editor. Your correct headline would put the incorrect
headline of the Los Angeles Times editors to shame.
Bravo!

The LA Times has enough to be ashamed of as it is.

George, Associated Press have withdrawn their chess journalists from
reporting any Fide events (and all others, by association) because of their
unreliable schedule of events.

We must now expect this quality of reporting from newspapers from now on.

Dear Mr. Innes,

Heil Dubya!

Bull****! This was an error by an LA Times headline writer in connection with
a regular column in that newspaper. You're "entitled" to be anti-FIDE, as a
European racist. However, don't let that interfere with your "reasoned
judgment" concerning journalistic efficiency.

Heute Uhmuhrikkka, Afghanistan und Irak. Morgen die ganze Welt!

Uhmuhrikkka, Uhmuhrikkka über Alles!

(The more information that comes out about the attacks on the Twin Towers and
the Pentagon of 11 September 2001 the more it appears that those attacks were
organized by the rulers of the United States and were intended to have the same
effect on the people of the United States that the Reichstag fire had on the
people of Germany in 1933.)
